Lucas Raymond, Dylan Larkin, Robby Fabbri and Pius Suter each had one goal and one assist to lift the Detroit Red Wings past the host Philadelphia Flyers 6-3 Wednesday night.

Givani Smith and Vladislav Namestnikov added one goal each and Moritz Seider contributed two assists for the Red Wings.

Detroit picked up its first regulation victory at Philadelphia since Jan. 25, 1997, the same season the Red Wings swept the Flyers in the Stanley Cup Final.

Red Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic made 21 saves.

Isaac Ratcliffe, Travis Sanheim and Scott Laughton scored one goal apiece for the Flyers, who had their two-game winning streak snapped.

Nick Seeler chipped in with two assists.

Flyers goaltender Carter Hart stopped 28 shots.

The Red Wings went ahead 1-0 on the power play when Larkin fired a shot off the skate of Philadelphia's Ivan Provorov and into the net at 2:43 of the first period.

The Flyers tied the game 20 seconds later when Zack MacEwen ripped a turnaround slap shot that was redirected by Ratcliffe for his first career goal. Detroit challenged for goaltender interference, but after video replay, the officials counted it.

Raymond found himself wide open and scored for a 2-1 Red Wings lead at 6:02.

The advantage was short-lived as Sanheim equalized at 2 only 24 seconds later with his third of the season.

The Red Wings came out aggressive in the second period, and after a flurry of shots, Suter connected at 6:12 for a 3-2 lead.

Detroit extended its advantage to 4-2 at 11:00 when Suter sent a crisp pass to Fabbri, who beat Hart to the short side for his 13th goal this season.

Laughton responded 21 seconds later and the Flyers closed within 4-3.

Detroit took a 5-3 lead at 8:46 of the third when Smith skated in and ripped a shot through Hart's pads.

The Flyers received their fifth power play at 12:37 after Fabbri was whistled for high-sticking. But Philadelphia struggled getting pucks to the net and wound up 0-for-5 with the extra skater.

Hart was pulled with 3:32 remaining, but Namestnikov netted his 13th on an empty net at 19:05.
